CHARACTERS. 

Miss Angelina Browne. 
Miss Arabella Browne. 



Note. — The parcel must be made of brown paper 
only, with a bottom of wire netting. The hat and 
bonnet must have a weight sewn into each to insure 
immediate sinking. Cut a hole in top in order that 
the parcel may be more easily torn open. 



A BROWN PAPER PARCEL. 



Scene. — A sitting-room in London lodgings. 

Enter Angelina, l., carrying a band-box wrapped in 
brown paper, and a travelling bag. Places parcel 
on small table o. 

Ang. Could anything be more exasperating? Here 
ain I ready for my journey, my cab called, my lug- 
gage downstairs, my train due to start shortly, and 
at the last moment I am detained in this provoking 
manner. As if that were not sufficiently annoymg, 
the rooms are re-let, and the new lodger expected to 
arrive at any moment. However, it's an ill wind 
tliat blows no good, and I am glad to say that the 
parcel I have been expecting all the morning, and 
which I might otherwise have missed, has just ar- 
rived. Dear me, this room is so very hot that I must 
really take off my cloak and hat, though I may only 
have a short time to wait, {exit R., carrying travel- 
ling bag) 

Enter Arabella, l. 

Ara. No one here ! I understood from the land- 
lady that I should find her former lodger still in pos- 
session, {sees parcel) Ah, my parcel has arrived 
before me. What a good thing! 

Enter Angelina. 

Ang. {bowing stiffly) Hem ! Mrs. Sims' new 
lodger I presuine. I am sorry to be still here, 

(Arabella stops to untie parcel) but the fact is 

Excuse ine. that is my parcel. 

Ara. Pardon me, I think not. You will notice 
that it is addressed to me. 

Ang. To Miss Browne. 



4 A BROWN PAPER PARCEL. 

Ara. Yes, to Miss Browne. 

Ang. ' Well, I am Miss Browne. 

Ara. Indeed ! Why, so am I. 

Ang. {seizing upon the parcel and speaking in a 
proud tone of voice) But Jam Browne with an e. 

Ara. {taking it from her and replacing it on table) 
I have the e also. What a cvirious coincidence. 

Ang. Nevertheless, you will find that I am right. 
This parcel is addressed to Miss A. Browne. 

Ara. Yes, Miss Arabella Browne. 

Ang. Angelina. 

Ara. Is your name Angelina ? 

Ang. It is. 

Ara. Oh, how very odd. Now mine is Arabella. 

Ang. {angrily) Well, my parcel comes from 
Whiteley's. 

Ara. And so does mine. 

Ang. {stamping her foot slightly) Well, mine 
contains a b(jnnet. 

Ara. And mine a hat ! 

Ang. We must open it 

Ara. And see wliich it is. {they stoop to untie 
parcel, when knock at door l.) 

Ang. {crosses to door) A telegram. Here is the 
same difRcult\^ over again. " Brown, Clifton Terrace." 

Ara. Brown without the e this time. 

Ang. Ah, that's an accident ; we must open this 
also, {tears it open, looks at it. Arabella snatches 
it from her, looks at it. Angelina snatches it from 
her, looks at it. Arabella snatches it again, and 
speaks in a terrified voice) 

Ara. What — what can it mean ? 

Ang. {takes it from her) Mean? — nothing. It's a 
hoax of course, {reads cdoud) " On no account open 
parcel left at your house." I never heard such non- 
sense. I sliall open it at once, {throws atvay telegram 
and advances towards p>arcel) 

Ara. {springing forward to stop her) Did you 
notice where that telegram came from ? 

Ang. {making for the parcel) No, and I don't care 
either. 

Ara. {again stopping her) Miss Browne, as you 
value botli our lives, as you value the life of the whole 
neighborhood, leave that parcel unopened. 



A BROWN PAPER PARCEL. 5 

An(1. Miss Browne, as you value common sense, as 
you value the I'iyht to do as you like with your own 
property, don't leave a parcel that belongs to you un- 
opened. 

Ara. It doesn't belong to me. 

Ang. {again making for the parcel) Oh, that 
belongs to me then. 

Ara. (springing forivarcl to stop her) No, no, no, 
no, that belongs to neither of us. I ask you again, 
did you see where that telegram came from ? — 
from Scotland Yard — from the police. 

Ang. {retreating to back of stage, and speaking in 
an aivestruck voice) You take it to be an infernal 
machine ? 

Ara. I take it to be an infernal machine. 

Ang. To think that we may all of us be blown up 
at any moment ! 

Ara. {clinging to her and repeating her tvords) 
Oh, to think that we may all be blown up at any 
minute ! I suppose that the slightest vibration might 
set the machinery in motion ? 

Ang. Possibly. If it is timed to go off at a given 
moment, we ought to hear a ticking. 

Ara. Ican't say I hear any thing. 

Ang. I am afraid we are too far off. 

Ara. Oh, but I shouldn't like to go any nearer ! 

Ang. We might put our eai's to the ground, and 
listen like the Red Indians. 

Ara. So we might — so we might. Oh, what a 
good idea, {they clasp hands, and each kneeling on 
one knee bend dotmi to listen^ each holding a hand 
behind her ear) 

Ang. Do you hear anything ? 

Ara. No, nothing, (poth rise) 

Ang. No doubt the police will be here directly. 

Meanwhile {the alarm of a clock sounds off, they 

both shriek and spring away into opposite doorways 
Arabella, l., Angelina, r. Re-appear at once) 

Ang. {breathlessly) I am most terribly distressed 
to have been the cause of such a panic. It was 
merely an alarum clock going off in my travelling 
bag. 

Ara. Oh, I assure you I honestly felt blown to 
pieces. 



6 A BROWN PAPER PARCEL. 

AiVG. Yes, it struck me as being a very painless 
death. 

Ara. It is terrible to think of a whole neighbor- 
hood being blown up in its ignorance, but 

{crosses R. and clings to Ang.) Oh, I should so like to 
run away. 

Ang. It is a great deal happier in its ignorance than 
we are. but I shall run away if the situation isn't 
ended shortly. 

Ara. {hesitatingly) A pail of water now 

Ang. There's a bath in my bedroom ! 

Ara. Oh, there's a bath in your bedroom. But — 
should you have the courage to fetch it ? 

Ang. {going) Oh, yes, I should have the courage 
to fetch it. 

Ara. {detaining her and speaking with much agi- 
tation) Miss Browne, my dear Miss Browne, let us 
retain our presence of mind whatever we do. Ouglit 
we to carry the bath to the parcel or the parcel to the 
bath, do you think ? 

Ang. (pointing to parcel) Should you have the 
courage to carry the parcel ? 

Ara. I — oh, no. 

Ang. Tlien you had better help me carry the bath. 
{exeunt both R., re-appearing at once carrying a bath 
containing irater) If the mountain won't come to 
Mahomet 

Ara. Then Mahomet must come to the mountain. 
{they place bath in front of small table omchich the 
parcel is, piatise and look at one another and at the 
parcel) 

Ang. {decisively) We must settle this question on 
the basis of Seniores Priores — eldest fij'st. 

Ara. {piteously) Oh : — well, I was nine-and- 
twenty on my last birthday. 

Ang. So was I. 

Ara. Well, I was born on the first of April. 

Ang. So was I. 

Ara. {despairingly) There seems to be no 
choice 

Ang. {authoritatively) But to put it in together. 
Now, Miss Browne, when I say away. 

Ara. When you sav awav. 

Ang. One . . . Two . . ." Three . . . AWAY ! ! ! 



A BROWN PAPER PARCEL. 7 

(Arabella, ichose nerves are in a state of tension^ 
jumps away as far as possible at the word of command. 
Angelina also retires to back of stage with a scornful 
gesttn'e) 

Ara. {recovering herself ) Oh, this is very painful. 
We must really take our courage into both hands. 

Ang. (scornfully) You mean that we must take 
the parcel into both hands, I suppose. 

Ara. {ivringing her hands) If we only had done 
it five minutes ago, we shouldn't have to do it now ! 

Ang. (sharply) Yes, and if we only do it now, we 
shan't have to do it five minutes hence. 

Ara. Let's do it now ! 

Ang. Yes, let's do it now. (Angelina maJces an 
emphatic gesture ivith her right hand at the word 
" noiv,'" causing Arabella to jump violently) 

Ara. Miss Browne. 

Ang. (angrily) Well ? 

Ara. Well, I'm going to sneeze. 

Ang. Your sneeze shall be the signal ! 

Ara. My sneeze shall be the signal. 

Ang. (offering her hand) Your hand upon it. 

Ara. (giving hers) My hand uj^on it. (they ad- 
vance hand in hand towards the table. Arabella 
sneezes. They plunge parcel under water. A knock 
at door L.) 

Ang. (goes to door) Another telegram. "Browne, 
Clifton Terrace." 

Ara. Another telegram. Oh, how dreadful ! 
(pointing to address) And it has the e this time. 

Ang. Yes. I think it should have an s also, (tears 
open telegram, reads aloud) "Not as we feared, 
regret mistake- 



Ara. (taking it) "Open parcel by all means- 



Ang. (taking it back) ' ' Telegraphed lest we shou Id 
be too late." 

Both. Too late — it is indeed too late ! (they rush 
to bath., tear openparcel, hold up two dripping objects) 

Ara. My hat ! 

Ang, My bonnet !
